I have an oil leak on one of the front oil cooler lines and we can't get the old one off the oil cooler.

Anyone have one? I'm in Massachusetts.

Thx!

If you're going to replace the line anyway, you might try cutting the line off right next to the nut on the cooler. Then you can put an impact wrench on the nut and see if that will break it free. I had to do that on one of the trans cooler lines on my car. Fortunately I was dumping the automatic, so I didn't need those lines anyway!

Thx Greg, good advise we will give it a try. Only issue is the cooler is aluminum and will most likely break with the force of a impact socket and wrench at the mounting point. But I guess worth a try, it's garbage otherwise anyway.

Best regards,

If worst comes to worst, I have a spare oil/trans cooler. PM me if you need it.
